Chapter 327: The Living Dead Palace
"The Empress Dowager assassinated the Emperor?"
Jiang Yuan asked with interest: "Does she also want to ascend the throne?"
Yu Lao: "......Why do you say [also]?"
"How could a woman like her ascend the throne? It's just that she has a huge grudge against the emperor."
Zhongliang said this, recalling the story that left a deep impression on him.
"I have long forgotten her real name, but I remember everyone called her Tyrannosaurus."
“The Tyrannosaurus Queen Mother was not originally from the Qing Dynasty, but was the daughter of an ordinary farmer from the neighboring Ningguo.
She had been brave and aggressive since she was young. At that time, Daqing and Ningguo were at war, and she joined the army for her father, rising from cannon fodder to general, and was finally personally named Marshal of the Nation by Emperor Ning.
Thanks to her struggle, Ningguo, which had been losing ground, regained most of the cities. In order to deal with her, Daqing sent the third prince of the dynasty to turn the tide of the war.
It’s a pity that this bastard was pinned to the ground by the Tyrannosaurus as soon as he entered the battlefield and almost died at its hands.
Seeing that he was about to lose and become a laughing stock, the Third Prince suddenly had an idea and asked Emperor Ning to marry Tyrannosaurus Rex, promising to end the war with a marriage.
It's ridiculous that Emperor Ning was a wimp. When he heard that giving up a woman could calm the war, he agreed immediately.
Tyrannosaurus was in the ascendant and was about to break into Daying. He did not want to agree, but because Emperor Ning was pressuring him with the country and his family, he had no choice but to obey.
The good news is that her marriage actually brought peace between the two countries.
After getting along with each other, Tyrannosaurus found that although the third prince was cunning, he was truly concerned about peace. He persuaded Emperor Qing to end the war, so she became a princess with peace of mind.
Later, the third prince succeeded in winning the throne and ascended the throne smoothly. Tyrannosaurus became the queen, and after her husband's death, she became the current empress dowager.
However, although she was brave, she was not good at palace fighting. She was drugged by concubines in the harem, causing her to become infertile and have no children.
Although she had beaten the concubine to death with a stick herself, the prince born to the concubine, by some strange coincidence, became the emperor today.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, in order to consolidate his regime and avenge his mother's murder, he decided to attack Ningguo.
Tyrannosaurus's objections were in vain, and he was imprisoned in Ci Ling Palace by the Dog Emperor.
In the end, Ningguo was destroyed and her entire family died tragically.
After the country was destroyed and the family was ruined, the empress dowager went mad in the palace, killing people everywhere and almost succeeded in assassinating the emperor.
But in the end he was trapped and locked back.
The emperor was angry and afraid, and did not want to be branded as unfilial, so he ordered that Ci Ling Palace be destroyed and she would never be reborn.
The mad queen mother was trapped in this tomb of the living dead, feeding on the corpses of the defeated. "
"Before she went crazy, this queen mother was filial, brave, strong-willed, courageous and resourceful, and dared to love and hate."
General Zhong sighed, "It's a pity that you are a woman. No matter how strong you are, you can only marry someone. You can't die on the battlefield like a man."
"No, I think her gender proves her strength."
Huo Hu said seriously: "She was able to put aside worldly prejudices as a daughter and join the army in her father's place. She worked her way up from grassroots to marshal, and finally became the empress dowager. Each step of this was beyond ordinary people and worthy of admiration."
"What's there to admire?"
Old Yu shook his head and said, "God's will is the most important. Most people who use their mortal bodies to fight against the times will only end up in tragedy."
The skinny old man put his hands behind his back, looked into the void, and seemed to mutter to himself:
"At most, you can leave behind a good reputation if you die, but what's the point if you're gone?"
Only an old widower is left, and the elderly have to bury the young.
The atmosphere was heavy, and several people had different opinions on the Empress Dowager's story. Only Jiang Yuan touched his chin, seeming to be thinking about something.
"so......"
After a moment's silence, the Son of God asked seriously, "Did Sister Zhong really get beaten by the Queen Mother?"
"no!"
Zhong Liang was furious: "I am a great iron-blooded general! I am the only son of the Zhong family for ten generations and I am a pure man! How could I be beaten by an old woman?! Can you please stop dwelling on this bullshit!!"
Jiang Yuan stuck out her tongue cutely: "Okay, then just pretend it didn't happen."
Zhong Liang became even more furious: "They said there really is no more!!!"
The four of them climbed over the high wall and divided up to circle around the entire tomb palace. They quickly made a circle and finally came to a broken hole in the brick wall on the southeast side.
The area around the hole was muddy and the footprints were messy, among which a large group of fresh small handprints were particularly conspicuous.
After observing, Jiang Yuan said, "There is only one hole here. If there is no tunnel, then the child must be inside and has not come out."
Huo Hu was worried: "The Queen Mother is already a powerful level BOSS, and now the game has been modified. Will Jiang Ran, a child, be in danger?"
"What normal child would ride a monster and sing The Lone Hero in the palace?!"
Zhong Liang folded his hands: "Instead of worrying about this traitor's daughter, it is better to think about whether she has prepared another eight hundred traps by leading us here!"
Elder Yu also agreed with this view and suggested: "There is no need to go in and waste time and energy. The most urgent task is to preserve strength and prepare for the decisive battle."
This is true.
The game has been revamped now, and Jiang Jian has placed traps everywhere. If we rush in rashly, there is a risk of annihilation.
Even if they succeed in capturing Jiang Ran as a hostage, if Jiang Jian is cruel and chooses to abandon his beloved daughter, then all their efforts will be in vain.
No matter how you calculate it, the risks of entering the Tomb Palace far outweigh the benefits.
But Jiang Yuan clapped his hands in a relaxed manner and said, "Since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed. I have to go in and take a look."
Zhong Liang complained: "Can't go empty-handed? Do you think this is a supermarket promotion!?"
Huo Hu raised his hand and joined unconditionally: "Then I'll go too."
"Hmm~! You are worthy of being the one that Xiaoyuer and I have chosen!" Jiang Yuan patted his shoulder happily.
Huo Hu: Xiao Yu'er? Who?
...fish...
Could it be my captain???
Jiang Yuan then looked at the other two and said sympathetically, "It's okay. If Sister Zhong and Sister Yu are scared, just wait at the door. We'll be back soon."
"Who the hell is scared!"
Knowing that this was Jiang's low-level provocation, Zhongliang still fell for it:
"Let's go! It's not like I haven't killed that old woman before!"
Finally, there was only one person left.
Yu Lao: “…”
His combat power was negative, and staying outside alone was tantamount to seeking death, so he could only say stubbornly and angrily: "What else can I do?! Let's go in together! Really... I am an old man, and I will die in this game sooner or later!"
Just like that, a thrilling adventure in the tomb palace began.
Considering the danger involved, before entering the cave, Huo Hu opened the Infinity APP and upgraded everyone's equipment.
Before, he had only used healing items and hadn't felt anything, but now, seeing the rows and rows of dazzling array of weapons and equipment in the Huohu APP, Zhong Liang's eyes lit up, and he was grinning with joy.
"Okay, okay! Lao Huo! You brought an arsenal of weapons with you!"
Huo Hu said embarrassedly: "I can't help it. Zi'an was worried that it would be dangerous for me to go out alone, so he insisted on giving me more weapons."
[Put more]: refers to the weapons and equipment that can be used by a regiment, ranging from pocket grenades to fully automatic rocket launchers, both hot and cold equipment, with everything you need.
Huo Zian is worthy of being the Northern Emperor and the leader of the Baimen Sect. He is very generous and wishes he could stuff all the treasures in the world into his adoptive father's mobile phone.
However, Jiang Yuan sensed something unusual among this large amount of equipment.
Placing so many weapons is enough to prove that Huo Zian is worried about his adoptive father going out alone.
But I'm so worried, why doesn't the little daddy come over by himself?
